The number of cats that you have is; 27 cats

<h3>How to calculate algebra word problems?</h3>

Let the number of cats alice has be x.

Since you have thrice the amount of cats that alice has, then you have 3x cats.

Bob has 7 less cats than you. Thus, bob has; 3x - 7

If they have a total of 56 cats, then;

x + 3x - 7 + 3x = 56

7x - 7 = 56

7x = 56 + 7

7x = 63

x = 63/7

x = 9

Thus, number of cats you have = 3x = 3 * 9 = 27 cats

Answer:

The answer is (π/4)*r

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula length of arc when the angle given is in radian as the case given

s = r*θ

Match the following exponential functions with their "b" value.

Answer:

in order by function: 0.6, 8, 7/3, 2, 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions are given in the form ...

f(x) = a·b^x

The "b" value is the value immediately to the left of the exponent. (It's not rocket science; it's pattern matching.) Note that the minus sign in g(x) is part of 'a', not part of 'b'.

From the top-down, the functions listed on the left have the b-values shown above.
